Juonikuvaukset(1)
Jokainen mies noudattaa elämässään sääntöjä - jopa roistot, kuten kuumaverinen mutta oikeudenmukainen Parker (Statham). Parker varastaa vain niiltä, joilla on siihen varaa, ja satuttaa vain niitä, jotka sen ansaitsevat. Varaa ja ansiota on etenkin Parkerin omalla kiittämättömällä konnasakilla sen jälkeen, kun nämä selkäänpuukottajat päättävät napata hänenkin osuutensa ja henkensä. Petturien päivittämä saaliinjako ei kuitenkaan kelpaa kuolemaa karttavalle Parkerille ja määrätietoinen mies aikoo ottaa omansa vaikka verisinä seteleinä.?? Harva nainen on yhtä seksikäs, älykäs ja kunnianhimoinen, kuin Leslie (Lopez) - ja yhtä rahan tarpeessa. Kaikki täydellisiä ominaisuuksia Parkerin uudelle rikoskumppanille. Tämän duon dollarinhimolta ja koston iskuilta voivat välttyä vain viattomat. (Scanbox Entertainment Fin.)

Even when I can’t have it in real life, the Florida sunshine in January is a delightful thing to see in a movie. And Lopez was also fun to look at. Otherwise, Parker is an absolutely average movie with a hackneyed plot. Considering how well he handled other, significantly bigger genre challenges in the past (particularly The Devil’s Advocate), it seems that Hackford just phoned it in this time.

This old-fashioned Stark’s detective story set in the present works quite well on the level of revenge on principle, but it starts creaking with the digression toward JLo. Statham was good as always in a familiar role, the action is solid and the beautiful Florida locations save the day.

A film with a hopelessly unpolished image. You can see it was directed by an older gentleman who lacks a killer talent and cannot turn it into either a thrilling action film or a sunny summer ride. Jason Statham's action potential is woefully underutilized, as well as the solid bad-ass feeling of the main villains. The only assets are a few solid hand-to-hand fights, surprisingly well-directed and sufficiently bloody, and Jennifer Lopez in a perfectly coordinated outfit.

Right from the start, there's an engaging scene where clowns and a priest rob a safe. From the beginning, the nearly two-hour runtime is a bit daunting. It's clear that the film can't keep up the pace. And it doesn’t. After the first great action sequence and a pretty intense scene, it turns into a dumb comedy with J.Lo, who bends over, shows off her impressive rear end - which we've seen countless times before (and it would have been better if she were at least naked) - and then it's just about taking someone out and doing a bit of moralizing. Jason's great, but it's not enough this time.
